January 2005: Encyclopedia II - Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy - Nipplegate

Singers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake were performing a duet of Timberlake's song "Rock Your Body," which featured many suggestive dance moves by both Timberlake and Jackson. As the song reached the final line, "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song," Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson's costume, revealing her right breast (adorned with a large, sun-shaped nipple shield, a piece of jewelry worn to accentuate the appearance of a nipple piercing).

January 2005: Encyclopedia II - Toyota Prius - 2004 to 2006 Prius

The Prius 2004 model year was a complete redesign of the previous generations of Prius.

This allowed more extensive use of the "stealth mode" (operation on electric motor only). The drag coefficient of 0.26 was now the second-lowest in the ...
